How to convert .flv files to .mov?

Source file = .flv downloaded from Twitch TV
Need = to convert the .flv file to a format that I can edit in Final Cut Pro 10.0.6
End Result Desired = to posted editted version in format that will play on YouTube
OS = Mac 10.8.2
When I download the .flv file, the audio and video play fine in Adoble Flash Player 1.8. I have tried just ablout every Mac .flv converter I can find and all convert the .flv video to other formats, but the Audio is never included. I cannot figure out why the audio does not come over.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I've been reading so many different forums on how to convert FLV to MOV. Finally, I summarized three solutions:
First one: HandBrake . This tool is a free and open-source multi-threaded transcoding app.
Cons:
1. HandBrake is too professional to handle for most people;
2. It doesn't support MOV as output format.
Second one: there are many third party software which supports converting FLV to MOV.I highly recommend iDealshare VideoGo which can batch convert FLV to MOV much easier, faster on Mac or Windows Cons:
1. Most of them are not free.
Third one: Online-Converter . This kind of converter does a great job on file conversion.
Cons:
1. Like most online converters, the free version of this tool only allows you to convert videos smaller than 100MB. It's too small for video conversion;
2.Your MKV video should be upload to the internet to be converted. This means the risk of pravite information leak is possible.

How to convert .dv file into .mov file

How can I convert a .dv file into a .mov file?
When I export an iMovie project in "full" quality, it creates a .dv file (I don't even know what that is, really). I've found that websites (like facebook, for example) won't accept it, and that .mov is more common and acceptable. But I don't see a "full quality" .mov option in iMovie.
If possible, I'd really like to take my existing .dv files and convert them rather than having to re-export the original iMovie projects.

Hi jayriggity - .dv is video format, whereas .mov is simply a container in which any one of a number of video formats can be stored. Try 'sharing' your movie to the Web (Share>Quicktime> compress movie for Web). This will create a smaller version of your movie which Facebook should accept.

How to convert .avi files to .mov format for use in FCE ?

Hi guys,
I need to import an avi file into FCE. How do I convert it to mov format ?
Thanks

i am in the same boat. i have a canon G9 and automatically downloaded to iphoto without thinking. the videos i extracted seem to be .avi. what do i have to do to edit them in FCE4? i tried to convert them with prism, the video is messed up. i tried to put them into imovie instead, it won't let me do any effects on them. it's so confusing bc it lets the videos load in, or so i thought, but then it won't let me do anything to them? what do i do?

How to convert vob files to mov files

can anyone assist here? i have the mac osx 10.6.7. Cheers

Hi Lucy,
Other than Handbrake (as suggested by Fritzables) have a look at MPEG Streamclip. It's a free download from the developer (Squared 5), available here:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Drag the VOB files to MPEG Streamclip's interface. From the menu, select File>Export to QuickTime. If using the file in iMovie, for Compression choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). Otherwise, choose the H.264 format. Both compression methods will produce a .mov file, but the H.264 format will be playable almost universally. The AIC format is best for iMovie (I'm assuming either iMovie '08, '09 or '11).

How can I convert rm file to .mov?

Hi,guys
Can anyone tell me what software is used for converting RM file to MOV file?
Thanks

I had the same issue, however I used this program to transfer ...avi,mpg,wma..etc...;
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
I'm pasting this from the Videora site, the settings worked for me when others didn't, enjoy:
Configuring videora converter
0) Start Videora iPod converter.
1) Click setup in the left nav.
1.5) Click the profiles tab.
2) Click new profile.
3) Now, configure that profile:
profile name: ipod
in the video settings section...
mode: MPEG-4 > CBR
resolution: 320x240
passes: one
bitrate: 768 kbps (384 kbps also works)
framerate: 29.97 fps
in the audio settings section...
bitrate: 128 kbps
sample rate: Input
channels: stereo
4) Click apply to save the profile.
Now, you're ready to transcode.
1) Click convert on the left nav.
2) Click the transcode new video button.
3) Pick your source video. Mine was an AVI from a torrent.
4) Under quality profile, choose "ipod", the profile you created using the steps above.
5) Click start.
Now you're ready to get the video on your ipod
1) In iTunes, under the File menu, select add file to library. Find the transcoded one. By default, the transcoded videos pop out under the Videora install directory.
2) Drag and drop to your ipod.
Questions/observations:
1) I haven't been able to get H264 anything to work. Is it broken? How much smaller than MPEG4 is it?
2) 768 kbps video was about 400 megs/hour; 384 kbps video was about 231 megs/hour. I could readily see a difference in video quality.

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

How do I convert .flv files to an audio (.mp3) file and how do I rip my CDs

I'm a recent convert from Windows. I doubt if this is the right place to post this question but I have no idea which discussion group is correct.
I did a search and found nothing on this topic.
I don't even know if Macs use .mp3 files or some other format.
I'm not even sure how to play my old .mp3 files or if I have to convert them to something else.
I'll got hundreds of old CD's that I ripped on my previous computer so I guess I need to that again. Where do I start to do that.

What happens if you insert one of your disk, right click on it's desktop image and then select "Open With" iTunes or QuickTime?
I did a Google Search: [.flv file converter for mac|http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&client=pub-6263300333013957&cof=FORID%3A 1%3BGL%3A1%3BLBGC%3A336699%3BLC%3A%230000ff%3BVLC%3A%23663399%3BGFNT%3A%230000ff %3BGIMP%3A%230000ff%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3B&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&q=convert.flv+files+formac&btnG=Search] and found tons of cheap and free apps.

Pocket Playlist- how to convert mp4 file to use on pocket playlist

I have an mp4 video that i would like to use on my pocket playlist, but not sure how to convert the file?

Hello Andy,
I do not have an HP Pocket drive but according to the manual...
The pocket acts as any other drive to store files on. Its the media player that you use that has to support the type of file you are playing.
This is cut from the manual.
"File types supported by HP Pocket PlaylistYour playback device may not support all of the following formats. If your playback device does not support a format, use the ArcSoft MediaConverter 7 computer application to convert (transcode) the files into a format that will play back on your mobile device.
HP Pocket Playlist supports the following file formats:
Video: .avi, .3gp, .flv, .m4v, .m4p, .mov, mp4, .mpeg, .mpeg2, .mpg, .ogg, .qt, .ts, .tts, .wmv
Music: .aac, .ac3, .adts, asf, .lpcm, .m4a, .mp3, wav, wma
Photo: .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .png, .tiff, .tif
You need to import files with the "Arcsoft Media Converter" which will convert the format for you.
Here are the links to all the info for HP Pocket Drives.

How to convert video files on itunes help

how do you convert a movie file using itunes?
i have a movie file randomly as .mkv
thanks!

Well I suggest that you check out the other pages on that site - you might get some info on how to convert - or - do a Google search for a converter program.
In some respects your question is not about iTunes but about how to convert a file into a format that iTunes/QT can play. QT plays various CODECS and there are a number of plugins available for QT to play additional CODECS beyond the standard default set.

Convert MXF files to MOV files, NO LASTCLIP.TXT in FCP 5.1.4

Hello everyone. I am new to the forums. I have a project I have been asked to edit where the files came off of a P2 Card from a Panasonic HVX2000. The problem is, they didn't copy the LASTCLIP.TXT files off of the P2 Card. So I just have the files themselves. Is there a way to convert the files to .MOV files? I do know about the Log & Transfer, but you need the LASTCLIP.TXT for that. Thanks!!

#38-P2 - Missing LASTCLIP.txt file. How to rebuild.
Shane's Stock Answer #38 - When you offloaded the P2 cards, you forgot to get the LASTCLIP.tct file? No worries, not all is lost.
MISSING LASTCLIP.TXT FILE:
http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=58755
If you neglected to copy the "lastclip.txt" file all is not lost. Much like the six million dollar man, we can rebuild him.
Lastclip.txt can be generated by any text editor. If you are using a mac then open up textedit.
Create a new txt file. It will have 3 lines to it.
The first line is the name of the last clip that was recorded.
Back to the finder. Open up your CONTENTS folder. In there, open up your VIDEO folder. Organize the folder by Date Last Modified. Find the name of the last file in this folder. If you have 16 clips in the folder is will be 0016ag.mxf or something like that. Four numbers and two letters followed by .mxf.
Take this name and place in the first line of your text file. On the next line of the text file type in "1.0" (don't include the quotes).
The third line is the number of clips in the folder +1. If you have 16 clips then the third line should read "17" (again no quotes).
I'm not 100% sure if the number on the third line is the number of clips left in the folder (after any on-set deletions) or if it is the total number of clips generated during this session with the card. Try both. Remember to add 1 to that number.
Your txt file should like something like this:
0016ab.mxf
1.0
17
That's it. You should be good to go. Put your CONTENTS folders in separate folders with separate LASTCLIP.txt folders and import them as separate P2 cards.
The annoying thing is that all of the various .mxf files in these 6 folders are locked items and they must all be unlocked manually to erase them.
It's much easier to import direct into FCP 5.0.4 or higher. It does so without leaving all of these locked files on your computer.
Credit for this solution goes to Randy Wedick.
